Idk about anyone else, but I get higher bits of identifying information with ironfox on eff cover your tracks, than I did on Mull
Hahaha yeah I mean I’m never on reddit anymore, but [email protected] just doesn’t have the same amount of activity or verified sellers, so I did my pre-purchase research using my private redlib instance

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards ### Rules #### Keep it ergo [https://gitlab.com/ergomechkeyboards/wiki/-/wikis/Rules#keep-it-ergo] Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?) i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear² ¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine. ² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid #### No Spam [https://gitlab.com/ergomechkeyboards/wiki/-/wikis/Rules#no-spam] No excessive posting/“shilling” for commercial purposes.

Mouse is off screen. I’m using a Logitech www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09HM94VDS?psc=1
The keyboard itself is a prebuilt from keyboard-hoarders. Reddit ergo mech keyboard subreddit has a large list of approved sellers. I’m also eyeing
I can already tell this will be great once I get the hang of it. It feels much more natural on the wrists and back/shoulders.
It seems like it will take a lot of time to get up to speed, unfortunately.
Here are my present stats on keybr. I’ve clocked 5 hours on it across the last 5 days.
Don’t go the WiFi route. Go Z wave for sure
Definitely. I can tell once I get the hang of Colemak and tune my numbers/symbols/navigation layers that this will be a great setup
Perfect, that’s exactly what I’m going for.
Yeah I’ve been playing with it a bit at work today with my mappings printed outaround me. Noticing a few that I’m not in love with (mainly symbols and some hotkeys) going to try to adhear to the miryoku mantra of hotkeys alternating sides, as I find some of the defaults I need to move my whole hand to be inefficient.
Adding these rubber feet resolved all sliding, but I’m sure if I angled the kickstands properly the first go around that it would have worked as is
Pic incase someone runs into the same issue in the future:
Yeah I was considering clamps as well, but I also wanted something portable for travel as I tend to do stints of doing remote work abroad
If I don’t figure out how to get the kickstands to work I’ll look for some clamps
I’ve seen those svalboarda around, they’re interesting but the price point is a little out of my comfort zone for something so different. I’d feel dumb if I got it and hated it haha.
I do really like boards with trackballs integrated, and might be interested in checking out something like that
Part of the reason I did it all in one go as well was so I still had the proper muscle memory for QWERTY mechs/laptop Krebs, and I’ve read that doing it all in one go was a good way to achieve that. Are you still able to type on qwerty boards without a hitch?
I’m most likely going to be unable to actually use these for work for a few weeks. These came in on Saturday and I’ve spent about 3hrs on kebr and I’m about halfway unlocked with the letters with a target wpm set to 15 lol.
Figured I’ll use kebr for initial letter learning and then start switching to other platforms like monkeytype and one that i saw suggested with common n-grams after that
Looking forward to getting over this initial hump, but its definitely been a bit demoralizing.
Yeah once I saw some heatmaps I was sold
Since I type for money, and its not like my wpm were anything to brag about, I figured I might as well take some time to optimize so I don’t end up hurting myself further down the line
